TOMATO 



THE CRIMSON^SCARLET 



BROTHER OF "PONDEROSA" 



The fruits of Crimson Cushion, while not quite as 

 large as those of Ponderosa, yet average big — big 

 enough for anybody and for any purpose, measur- 

 ing 4 to 5 inches in diameter and 3 to 4 inches in 

 depth, in fact the fruits are so thick that they 

 appear almost round. This symmetry of form, 

 added to the other merits — brilliant crimson-scarlet 

 color, untinged by purple, its solidity, meatiness 

 and high quality of flesh, freedom from acidity and 

 watery pulp, scarcity of seeds — has won for Hen- 

 derson's Crimson Cushion many friends. It is 

 fairly early for so large a tomato, enormously 

 prolific and bears continuously until killed by frost. 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 60c. oz., $2.00 }i lb. 



"7 am just 71 and have raised a good many kinds of tomatoes 

 but never any as good as the Crimson Cushion — which I have 

 grown ever since you introduced it." L. L. STEALEY, 



Middlebourne, W. Va. 



H endersons "Tenderloin" Tomato 



Henderson's "Tenderloin" Tomato is a scardy, healthy grower; it ripens its first 

 fruits immediately following those of the early sorts, and from that time until 

 frost, it is practically ever-bearing, yielding enormous quantities of Tomatoes. 



The fruit is borne in clusters of from four to six; the individual fruit, 4 to 5 

 inches diameter, runs remarkably uniform in size and shape, being almost round, 

 solid, and weighs about one pound each, the surface is very smooth, and never 

 cracks ; the color, a rich glossy crimson, also permeates the flesh to the heart ; 

 it ripens thoroughly clear to the stem. 



It possesses one crowning merit ; phenomenal solidity of flesh ; even the seeds — - 

 which are small and few — are embedded in flesh of meaty firmness. ■ 



On account of this solid character and splendid quality, it is peerless for slicing, 

 baking, boiling and canning. (See cut) Price, 10c. pkt., 3 pkts. for 25c, 55c. oz. 

 $1.75 \i lb. 



" The Tenderloin Tomatoes did exceedingly well. The fruit was of fine size, abundant, and the 

 most solid of any tomato we have raised — / am well pleased with them." 



J. MELVILLE LAWRENCE, Wakefield, N. Y. 



Early Freedom Tomato 



THE BEST EARLY TOMATO IN EXISTENCE 



Early Freedom is a very superior early tomato. Its value lies not only in the 



actual time of ripening its first fruit, but that such enormous quantities of fruit 



can be gathered while all other so-called "Earlies" are ripening only a few. The 



fruits are of good size, brilliant scarlet in color, perfectly round, smooth and 



remarkably handsome. The flesh is solid, of perfect flavor and absolutely 



free from any acidity. The fruits are borne in large clusters, in phenomenal 



abundance and continuouslv, from the middle of July until killed by frost. 



(See cut) Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 }i lb., $4^00 lb. 



"I think your Freedom the most delicious flavored tomato there is, we use it almost exi I 

 in the family." G. K. HUBBARD, Riverside Cal. 



"For forcing I consider the Freedom Tomato a variety of excellent merit." 



JOHN KERMAN, Grimsby, Out., Can. 



THE EARLIEST 



TOMATO OF ALL 



Earliana is without a doubt the earliest good tomato grown. It is not only 

 extremely early but of particularly fine quality. The flesh is solid, and it has 

 few seeds. It has the habit of setting the bulk of its fruits close to the center 

 of the plant, so that they are exposed to the sun and thus ripen earlv. Price, 

 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., $1.10 \i lb., $3.50 lb. 



"We found your Earliana Tomatoes exceptionally well suited to this altitude, 

 quite a triumph to ripen even a few on the vines. Our 1,0 plants ripened s 

 seemed to be quite equal to that of later varieties." Mrs. HARRIET I.. KUTCHIN, M 



Earliana Tomato.
